After many requests we pulled this from the archives to post. 1998 was a classic year in BMX when a lot of changes were happening in the sport, and when a lot of the riders you might think of as “legends” now, were killing it then.

A time of baggy clothes, homemade t-shirts, and fledgling rider-owned companies, the early 90’s Rampage Skatepark jams were some of the best BMX gatherings happening in the Midwest at the time. In fact Props itself was first formed when its founders met inside this building at a jam 1 year earlier.

Joe Rich, Luc-e, Taj Mihelich, Butcher, Magilla, Chris Stauffer, Nate Wessel, Pat Juliff, Jay Lonergan, and other Bethlehem locals hit up the infamous POSH trails and street in this scene report filmed in the summer of 1997 – not too long before some of these guys made the move to Austin, TX. This was pulled off a S-VHS master so it may look a little fuzzy.

Shot at Woodward Camp PA in the summer of 1998, Joe Rich and Chad DeGroot conduct a pretty goofy interview with a 22 year old Nate Wessel. Check the clip near the end of Nate going through the Woodward dirt rhythm on a snowboard.
